Howdy! We’re still working on fractions, and I saw this cute idea on Pinterest to represent fractions with Play-Doh. I can’t find the link that inspired me, but here is my take on it. What We Used: * Each student shared a container of Play-Doh with their whole-group partner. * Individual white boards and Expos […]

Self-Checking Center Cards (Poke Cards)

Multi-Digit Multiplication Math Stations
I love math stations, and I think or at least hope that my students do, too. Here is what we did recently during math station time to practice multi-digit multiplication.

What I Did: 1) I grabbed different colors of construction paper and folded each one into ten sections (I did a hotdog fold and then a […]
